The socio-economic development program for 2026-2030, approved at the seventh All-Belarusian People's Assembly, defines seven priorities, the implementation of which is designed to ensure a new quality of life for people, the functioning of the economy and enterprises. Among the seven priorities is the implementation of tourist potential. Museums play a significant role here, and today the word is with the director of the Glussky District Historical and Local History Museum, delegate to the seventh All-Belarusian People's Assembly, Natalya Akulich.
The key indicators of tourism development are the export of tourist services, and our museum is doing a lot in this direction. I note that cultural and educational tourism, as well as domestic tourism, are gaining popularity. This year, the Glussky District Museum was visited by guests from Ufa, Kaliningrad, Kostroma, Tomsk, Murmansk, Kaluga, Vologda, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk, Mogilev, Grodno, Gomel, Bobruisk, Osipovichi, and other cities.
In addition to familiarizing themselves with the region's history directly in the museum's halls, we have developed two tourist excursions outside the walls of the institution. The first is a walking tour of the historic center of Glusk, "The History of Glusk Castle," as part of the museum's program "The History of Glushchyna from Ancient Times to the Present." We offer our guests a route that includes "Central Park - Alley of Glory - Grahovsky Boulevard (part of the former Sluchskaya Street) - Zhizhkevich Street (formerly Bobruiskaya Street) - Epiphany Church - City Stadium (Zamchishche)".
Another tourist route is called "Glusk - a city on the Ptich River," this bus-walking route was separately defended by a museum scientist at the National Tourism Agency. It starts from the building of the district museum, passes through some streets and memorable places in Glusk, also includes a visit to the monument on Myshlochanskaya Hill, the memorial complex "Warrior's Glory," an eco-trail in the dendrological park of the forestry, and ends with a visit to the family crypt of the Lanovsky family in the village of Borisovschina and the Kosmo-Damianovskaya Church in the village of Gorodok.
We offer our tourist services to both individual visitors and groups. I would like to note separately that our souvenir shop is very popular among our guests, where you can buy books, magnets, keychains, boxes, calendars, clocks, notebooks, souvenir mugs and plates with views of Glusk, as well as decorative and applied arts products by local craftsmen.
